I graduated Balboa class of 79. Also graduated Panama Canal College class of 81. Seeing this site brought back alot of memories that I thought were buried and lost for good. Hard to find people that have lived this experience. |

Henceforth, all stories shall be related to the good times enjoyed therein. There shall be no further comments regarding conspiracies or dark motives on the part of Panama or Panamanians. Even if true, which I doubt, such comments are non-productive. As a part of this edict, all who have visited the former shrine known at the Balboa Yacht Club shall set aside one day each year to remember its last day by consuming a bottle of Cerveza Panama and then sprinkling the last few drops over a small pile of ashes. This edict pronounced by the right reverend Emperor of Causemania, RowBowWow the first. (You may now be seated.) |

(In case some of you think that I am being obscene, "Naked City" was an old Cine Noir TV cop show back in the 50's which was considered "new" viewing on SCN in the 70's) There must be twice a million stories in Balboa Yacht Club.

I've never been to the Panama Canal Zone but plan to do so in the near future. With that in mind, as well as some research towards a biography currently being constructed by my uncle, Thomas R. Goethals, I'm trying to learn more about the place and it's history, and I'm glad a resource like this one exists on the web. Hello to all you children of the Canal Zone. |

Thank God it went out in a blaze of glory rather than rotting away as it has been for so long. Lots of memories there. It was my temple, my mosque, my inner sanctum, my holy of holies. (Actually, that's B.S. It's where I drank a lot of beer and tried to score with chicks.) But, all the same, aint no place like it and never will be. Close the books. The final chapter is written. Roll up the scrolls, place them in the earthenware jars and hide them in a cave in the desert. A short prayer may be in order. The prayer that comes to mind was first uttered by Sister Janis Joplin: "Oh! Lord! wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz......" Maybe the words of the reporter at the time of the Hindenberg crash are more appropriate: "Oh! The humanity!!" Had enough? OK. I'll go away for now. But I will be back. Rowdy |

I have saved the picture of Fort Clayton and the Miraflores locks, because I had passed over the locks so many times coming and going to Panama City. The only disappointment I had was that I could not find a picture of Howard AFB. I want to thank you so much for taking the time and effort to put up your web site.

I arrived at the CZ back in 51 coming from Costa Rica, graduated from CHS in ´57 and went to Universidad de Panamá until ´63 when I got my degree in Architecture. Went back in ´83 as a contractor with USAID until the whole office got kicked out from Panama in ´87. Since 1993 I have been living in my home country, Costa Rica. Will love to hear from you guys. |

From: Marianna, Fl. 32664 Time: 1999-02-05 20:12:02 Comments: My family arrived in the CZ in 1939 and left to go stateside in 48 when I was 14. All my boyhood was spent in the Zone except for a short period during WW11. What a wonderfull place to grow up. We lived on both sides of the isthmus. I remember night fishing on the oil?dock and snook fishing the Chagres. I'ts been a long time (51yrs.) but I can still remember a few names of long lost friends. Richard and Everett Dillman, John Albritton and Frank Sogandares of Empire St. Leona Hart and Louis Tremblay from the (flats?) and Gene Salter from Cristobal. From what I recall you never went without friends as a zoneite. Mooving stateside was the great dissapointment of my youth. |

My brother and I have made plans to go to the final BHS graduation in May. Should be fun. TRUE Zonians didn't say,"The other side". That was for transients. Real Zonies said, "We is goin' nex side." And, of course, we always stopped at El Arranque to get things going. |

My cousin Rick Wilder and I were hanging out at the clubhouse at the time with Pablo (Quail) Prieto, Alfred 'Walt'Creque, the Duncans (Tom and his sister Martha) Rick Velasquez, Bo Smail, Bob Smalling... and so many others. Alice Parthenais, I can't believe we lost touch. And I've been looking for Sue Mendenhall for years. Anyone who knows the fates and/or whereabouts of these and any others who were part of the Curundu Crew of the era, please be in touch. Remember that fateful night when life as we knew ceased to be... The night the clubhouse went up in a spectacular blaze of fire and smoke and took with it so many rich memories? Oh, how we mourned. |
